[work of the testing circuit 21 of camera body 2]
Fig. 6 is a diagrammatic sketch of describing the work of testing circuit 21 when camera body 2 is connected to each other with replacement camera lens 3.
Field effect transistor 15 makes its grid be connected to resistor 14-2 and 14-3 and detection terminal 12, makes its drain electrode be connected to resistor 14-1 and operational amplifier 16, and makes its source ground.
Suppose the voltage of representing battery 13 with E, and represent the resistance of resistor 14-2,14-3 and 33-2 with R1, R2 and R3 respectively that then the grid voltage V1 of field effect transistor 15 is expressed by the following equality that illustrates (1).
V 1 = R 2 · R 3 R 2 + R 3 R 1 + R 2 · R 3 R 2 + R 3 E . . . ( 1 )
Suppose that (that is, V1<Vth), then the field effect transistor 15 as on-off element ends grid voltage V1 less than the threshold voltage vt h of field effect transistor 15.
Therefore, to operational amplifier 16 voltage E is provided from battery 13 via resistor 14-1.As a result, the input voltage of operational amplifier 16 is high (shown in Figure 6 is " H ").
Operational amplifier 16 is formed inverting amplifier.Because its input voltage is high, thereby its output voltage is low (shown in Figure 6 is " L ").Therefore, the voltage of delivering to microcomputer 17 is low.
This allows microcomputer 17 to detect the attached of replacement camera lens 3 and camera body 2.
Although should be noted that inverting amplifier as operational amplifier 16, the disclosure is not limited thereto example, as long as use the amplifier with similar performance.On the other hand, operational amplifier 16 is not requisite, as long as microcomputer 17 can detect the variation of the grid voltage of field effect transistor 15.
[work of the testing circuit 21 of the camera body 2 of disconnection]
Next provide description with reference to Fig. 7 to the work of the testing circuit 21 of the camera body 2 that breaks off.
When replacement camera lens 3 broke off with camera body 2, detection terminal 12 broke off with detection terminal 32.As a result, the grid voltage V2 of field effect transistor 15 is expressed by the following equality that illustrates (2).
V 2 = R 2 R 1 + R 2 E . . . ( 2 )
According to equality 1 and 2, grid voltage V2 is greater than grid voltage V1 (that is V2>V1).(that is, V2>Vth) is then as field effect transistor 15 conductings of on-off element greater than the threshold voltage vt h of field effect transistor 15 to suppose grid voltage V2.
Because the source ground of field effect transistor 15, so the input voltage of operational amplifier 16 is low.As a result, the output voltage of operational amplifier 16 is high.
Therefore, the voltage that is sent to microcomputer 17 is for high.This allows microcomputer 17 to detect the disconnection of replacement camera lens 3 and camera body 2.As a result, image capture operation is under an embargo.
[camera body 2 is for the detection sequential of connection state]
Above-mentioned camera body 2 detects connection state with the sequential shown in Fig. 8 A~8C.
Fig. 8 A~8C is the diagrammatic sketch that diagram camera body 2 detects the sequential of connection state.
Physical connection between Fig. 8 A diagram camera body 2 and the replacement camera lens 3.In Fig. 8 A, low level representes to replace being connected of camera lens 3 and camera body 2, and high level representes to replace the disconnection of camera lens 3 and camera body 2.
Fig. 8 B illustrates the gate voltage level of field effect transistor 15.
When camera body 2 was connected to each other with replacement camera lens 3, grid voltage equaled V1 as as described in Fig. 6.When replacement camera lens 3 broke off, grid voltage equaled V2 (V1<V2) as as described in Fig. 7.
Fig. 8 C diagram is sent to the input voltage of microcomputer 17 from testing circuit 21 (that is, operational amplifier 16).
When camera body 2 was connected to each other with replacement camera lens 3, input voltage was low as as described in Fig. 6.When replacement camera lens 3 broke off, input voltage was high as as described in Fig. 7.
When the connection state of replacement camera lens 3 becomes when breaking off from connection, the input voltage of microcomputer 17 also changes simultaneously.
Therefore, camera body 2 detects the change of being sent to the input voltage of microcomputer 17 from testing circuit 21, detects the disconnection with replacement camera lens 3 thus more apace.
[work of the testing circuit 41 of the replacement camera lens 3 of connection]
Next provide description with reference to Fig. 6 to the work of the testing circuit 41 of the replacement camera lens 3 that connects.
Field effect transistor 34 makes its grid be connected to resistor 33-2 and detection terminal 32, makes its drain electrode be connected to resistor 33-1 and operational amplifier 35, and makes its source ground.
On the other hand, resistor 33-2 makes the one of which end be connected to the grid of detection terminal 32 and field effect transistor 34, and makes its other end ground connection.
The grid of the field effect transistor 34 of replacement camera lens 3 is connected to the grid of the field effect transistor 15 of camera body 2 via detection terminal 12 and 32.
Therefore, the grid voltage of the field effect transistor 34 of replacement camera lens 3 equals the grid voltage V1 of the field effect transistor 15 of camera body 2.
Suppose the threshold voltage V ' th (that is, V1>V ' th) of grid voltage V1, then be used as field effect transistor 34 conductings of on-off element greater than field effect transistor 34.
Because the source ground of field effect transistor 34, so the input voltage of operational amplifier 35 is low.Because operational amplifier 35 constitutes inverting amplifier, so the output voltage of operational amplifier 35 is high.
Therefore, the voltage that is sent to microcomputer 36 is for high.As a result, microcomputer 36 detects the attached of replacement camera lens 3 and camera body 2.
Although should be noted that inverting amplifier as operational amplifier 35, the disclosure is not limited thereto example, as long as use the amplifier with similar performance.On the other hand, operational amplifier 35 is not requisite, as long as microcomputer 36 can detect the variation of the grid voltage of field effect transistor 34.
[work of the testing circuit 41 of the replacement camera lens 3 of disconnection]
Next provide description with reference to Fig. 9 to the work of the testing circuit 41 of the replacement camera lens 3 that breaks off.
When replacement camera lens 3 broke off with camera body 2, the grid of field effect transistor 34 was via resistor 33-2 ground connection.As a result, grid voltage is zero.
Because the grid voltage of field effect transistor 34 is zero, it is lower than threshold voltage V ' th (that is, V ' th>0)), so field effect transistor 34 ends.
Therefore, voltage is sent to operational amplifier 35 via capacitor 38 with resistor 33-1.As a result, the input voltage of operational amplifier 35 is high (shown in Figure 9 is " H ").
Because the input voltage of operational amplifier 35 is high, so its output voltage is low (shown in Figure 9 is " L ").Therefore, the input voltage that is sent to microcomputer 36 is low.As a result, microcomputer 36 detects the disconnection of replacement camera lens 3 and camera body 2.
[replacement camera lens 3 is for the detection sequential of connection state]

In the capacitor 38 storage energy mainly due to microcomputer 36 for its consumption and reduce gradually.The decline gradually that this causes capacitor 38 to supply with the voltage of microcomputer 36.This situation is illustrated among Figure 10 A.
On the other hand, reduce to predetermined resetting voltage if supply with the voltage of microcomputer 36, then resetting voltage detecting device 37 will be changed into low level from high level for the output voltage of microcomputer 36.
The variation that microcomputer 36 detects from the input voltage of resetting voltage detecting device 37 detects the decline for the service voltage of resetting voltage thus.At this moment, microcomputer 36 resets.
Figure 10 B illustrates the physical connection between camera body 2 and the replacement camera lens 3.In Figure 10 B, low level representes to replace being connected of camera lens 3 and camera body 2, and high level representes to replace the disconnection of camera lens 3 and camera body 2.
Figure 10 C illustrates the gate voltage level of field effect transistor 34.
When camera body 2 was connected to each other with replacement camera lens 3, grid voltage equaled V1 as as described in Fig. 6.When camera body 2 broke off, grid voltage equalled zero as as described in Fig. 9.
Figure 10 D illustrates the input voltage of delivering to microcomputer 36 from testing circuit 41 (that is, operational amplifier 35).
When camera body 2 was connected to each other with replacement camera lens 3, input voltage was high as as described in Fig. 6.When camera body 2 broke off, input voltage was low as as described in Fig. 9.
Figure 10 E illustrates the time period t of carrying out termination ' 1.Detect to be disconnected in the time period t 1 that detects resetting voltage at slave microcomputer 36 and carry out termination with camera body 2.
As stated, the voltage that testing circuit 41 detects detection terminal 32, rather than the voltage of power supply terminal 31 detect the disconnection with camera body 2 thus more apace.This makes ' 1 that can prolong the time period t that is used for termination accomplishes termination assuredly.
Further, use and camera body 2 employed detection terminal 12 contacted detection terminals 32, to detect connection state.As a result, need not add any new terminal, make testing circuit 41 can be applicable to the camera type of bigger quantity thus, and allow to incorporate connection detection circuit into lower cost.
[termination]
Figure 11 is a process flow diagram of describing the termination that microcomputer 36 carries out.

When the variation that detects voltage at step S1 (that is, the disconnection of replacement camera lens 3 and camera body 2), communications portion 102 will be sent to driver 81 in order to the order that stops actuator 82 at step S2.
In response to ceasing and desisting order, driver 81 stops actuator 82.This feasible unexpected and inconvenient operation that can avoid camera lens 62.
At step S3, the resetting voltage that microcomputer 36 is detected in test section 101.
That is, resetting voltage detecting device 37 is kept watch on the supply voltage of supplying with microcomputers 36, and exports low-voltage to microcomputer 36 at supply voltage during less than resetting voltage.
Test section 101 is detected from the low-voltage of resetting voltage detecting device 37 outputs, detects resetting voltage thus.
At step S4, control section 103 resets microcomputer 36.After the processing in step S4, the termination of replacement camera lens 3 is accomplished.
As stated, microcomputer 36 detects the variation (that is, with the disconnection of camera body 2) of input voltage more apace, more positively stops the operation of actuator 82 thus.
Although should be noted that inverting amplifier as operational amplifier 16 and 35, in-phase amplifier (one or more) can be used as in operational amplifier 16 and 35 one or both.On the other hand, the conducting of field effect transistor 34 and cut-off state are opposite between during with the use p channel transistor when using the N channel transistor.
